The site, in the central part of Nis, is bustling with activity as the former army barracks is transformed into a new housing and commercial center.

I will see what gets built.

Institutions have been lobbying for less liability when it comes to sexual misconduct on campus. Now they’re finally getting it.

Betsy DeVos works for Trump.

The Dusky Gopher Frog Loses a Round in the Supreme Court

The justices unanimously ruled that an appeals court must take a fresh look at the government’s efforts to protect the endangered species.

The endangered species act is in danger.

Food

Seafood From Two Tapas Masters at Saint Julivert Fisherie

At their new Brooklyn restaurant, the chefs Alex Raij and Eder Montero leave Spain to fish in other waters.

Good idea.  I will skip it for now.

T Magazine

The American Spirit of Coach’s Stuart Vevers

His ready-to-wear collections reflect a lifelong fascination with Americana as seen through “the outsider perspective of an Englishman in New York.”

I have not been paying attention.

Food

A New Destination for Chinese Food: Not Flushing, but Forest Hills

A corner of Queens better known for delis and pizza parlors has added a critical mass of new (and creative) Chinese restaurants.

As convenient.

Margaret Thatcher, Ice Cream Pioneer, Is Nominated as Face of £50 Note

The Bank of England has released a list of 800 scientific figures who could feature on its next redesigned bill. One in particular has raised eyebrows.

Ada Lovelace is a better choice.

The Colts Neck Mansion Fire: What We Know So Far About the New Jersey Killings

A family of four was found dead at their home amid a suspicious blaze that appeared to be linked to the arrest of the father’s brother in a nearby arson case.

Real information is missing from this report.

Ronald K. Brown Choreographs a Love Letter to Alvin Ailey

“The Call” pays tribute to Ailey, the man who inspired Mr. Brown to make dances, on the 60th anniversary of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.

I will take you to anything like this we can reach.

A Guide to Puebla, Mexico, Where Gilded Churches Meet a Thriving Cultural Scene

The colonial city — and the country’s fourth-largest — is a world away from its bustling capital.

Not yet.

A Huppah Just for You (Your Style, Personality and Budget)

Jewish huppahs have gone through many fads over the years, but many couples today prefer something unique.

It is not my tradition.  It is your event.

Will Taiwan Be the First Domino to Fall to China?

Beijing keeps making inroads abroad by exploiting the main weakness of open societies: openness itself.

Paying people helps.

Business

Robert Sauerberg, Condé Nast C.E.O., to Step Down

The move comes at a time when some of the company’s magazines, which include Vogue and Vanity Fair, are losing money.

Magazines must make themselves important to their fields.

Roz Chast in Full View (Body Scan Included)

The New Yorker cartoonist, the subject of a new retrospective, talks about getting started as an artist, why she loves crafting and the thing she hates drawing the most.

The material is not bad.
I can live with less of it.
My woods imagination is doing well.

A Dance Homage to Alvin Ailey as His Company Turns 60

Rennie Harris made the two-act “Lazarus” for Ailey’s company, saying of Ailey: “He’s still affecting folk: black, brown, white, indifferent, whatever.”

Dance is distant to me.  It is not a wrestling match.

Democrats Try to Derail Judicial Nominee They Call a Vote Suppressor

Democrats are one vote short from derailing the nomination of a North Carolina judge who defended state voting rights laws that federal courts found targeted minorities.

I am not hopeful that Farr will be blocked.

Movies

‘The Rider’ and ‘First Reformed’ Top the Gotham Awards

Many winners weren’t on hand, but the crowd went especially wild for two who did show up: the actor Ethan Hawke and the “Eighth Grade” director Bo Burnham.

I am not watching.

The blast in the city of Ghazni also wounded three more troops and a contractor. It was the single worst loss of life for the U.S. military in Afghanistan this year.

The Taliban will try again.
